The White House has published an emotional video tribute to Charlie Kirk featuring extracts from a speech that her widow, Erika, said after her assassination in which she said: “You have no idea of the fire you turned.”
“Charlie has always said that when he left, he wanted us to remember him for his courage and for his faith,” heard Erika Kirk saying the video displayed scenes of memorials and watches held for Kirk in the United States “now and for all eternity, he will stand by the Savior, carrying the glorious crown of a martyr”.
“The criminals responsible for the assassination of my husband have no idea what they did,” she added. “They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith and merciful love of God. They should all know it: if you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea. You have no idea what you have just unleashed in the whole country, in this world. You have no idea.”
The clip also presents Erika Kirk by swearing: “The movement that my husband has built will not die. He will not die. I refuse to let this happen.”
